Adding an Event
An event appears on the .com under client events and communicates the time, place and means of registration for webinars and live events alike. An example of such an event is below.
To add an event you’ll first need all of the details given to you by filling out the event submission form found on insite (as seen below).
Once you have this, go to the corporate site on the content editor, then through corporate, home and find client events underneath home. Right click client events and insert - marketing event page.
Name your event as you would anything else without any special characters and no spaces after the words and progress to the content editor that appears to the right of the content tree. Before filling in any information quickly scroll down to search result image and select browse.
The images you are looking for are in the media library under corporate, files, images and then client events. If your event is a webinar then select the one named webinars, if it is a live event then select the one named calendar for live events.
Once you have done this you start filling in all of the information required for the event. The title follows a standard formula of location, either major city or country depending on whether the city would be known, then separate it like below and put the title of the event, stating whether or not it is a webinar. This is what your event will appear as on the events page.
Copy the headline that you have chosen and scroll down to marketing event data. Start by pasting the title in to event name then scroll down to navigation and paste it twice more in to the two options here.
Following this, find the section called geo data; here you have to input the address only if the event is live. Once you have put the address in, open a tab and go to latlong.net on your browser, type in the address on the latlong website to get the latitude and longitude of the event location. If you copy and paste these into the lat and long field in geo data a map of the location will appear on the site once you have published the event.
Once you have done this scroll back down to marketing event data and you can begin inputting the details for the event. Start by filling in the event start date and time and the end date and time.
The event type is either webinar or live event so select whichever one is relevant to the event you are creating.
The registration URL is where you will put the way people can register for the event. If this is an email, then click insert email, if it is another website select insert external link. If it is a link to a website then the link description will be what appears on the website, for this just put register here and make sure to test the URL that you put in the URL section. For emails, the box “displayed text” is what refers to the appearance, here put “Register Here”. In both cases put either the link URL or email in the relevant labelled box.
The description is the long description of the event included in the form submission; just open the text editor and past as plain text by right clicking the blank space and selecting paste as plain text. Once you have double checked that there are no spelling mistakes then you can accept by scrolling down and selecting the accept button and move on.
To put a contact email address in select insert email and paste the relevant email into the email address box, putting “email us” in to the description box.
The contact phone number is just a matter of putting the phone number in, though it is worth remembering to put the relevant country area code in, so (+44) for the UK for example.
Finally, the teaser should also be on the form submission and will be another case of copy and pasting, though it is worth making sure that it is not a repeat of the title as this will appear beneath the title on the client event page.
After this is all filled out save your work, submit, approve and publish.
